On Feb 18th 2005 the FCC issued an order that clarified that calls to FSBOs by real estate agents to get your listing, is illegal. Despite their prolonged and expensive efforts to be exempted, the FCC has ruled that agents can not call you to solicit your listing if you are on the list. It is illegal for real estate agents to call FSBO sellers to solicit their listing. If an agent calls you, trying to convince you to list with them and you are on the national Do-Not-Call list, they broke the law. They are subject to an $11,000 fine. Get the agent's name, phone number and office and report them online www.donotcall.gov or via phone 1-888-382-1222. You can also use these contacts to put your telephone number(s) on the national Do Not Call list.
